Quatuor Byron
AP402D - 27' - Nov 7, 2025
The Byron Quartet transforms Tchaikovsky’s Children's Album into a tender and poetic chamber work, enhanced by Dubinsky’s rare transcriptions.
The Byron Quartet offers a sensitive reinterpretation of the Children's Album by Tchaïkovski, based on the rare transcriptions by Rostislav Dubinsky (Borodin Quartet). These twenty-four piano miniatures come alive as chamber music, where the warmth of the strings reveals the composer’s depth and tenderness, true to his poetic spirit.
Trained at the Haute École de Musique de Genève and acclaimed on Europe’s major stages, the Byron Quartet combines precision and emotion to deliver a unique interpretation.
A rare and moving way to rediscover Tchaikovsky.
